    An honest comparison

    Both are capable tools. Here is where each one tends to fit best.

    PayCamp is the better fit for

    UK marinas and parks that want UK-native VAT, BSS and electricity metering, flat monthly pricing and an included website.

    NewBook is the better fit for

    Larger or international holiday-park operators who need NewBook’s deep PMS feature set and are comfortable with per-unit or per-booking pricing.

    The key difference

    NewBook is a powerful, internationally-built PMS. PayCamp is UK-first and simpler, with flat pricing and no per-booking fees.

    Typical PayCamp operator

    A UK marina or park that wants capable software without enterprise complexity or cost.
